1. Peter Edward Cook (17 November 1937 – 9 January 1995) was an English satirist, writer and comedian who is widely regarded as the leading figure in the British satire boom of the 1960s. He has been described by Stephen Fry as "the funniest man who ever drew breath." Cook is closely associated with an anti-establishment style of comedy that first emerged in the late 1950s.
2. Peter Cook is Dutch singer and songwriter Peter Kok from The Hague, The Netherlands, who had six Dutch Top 20 hits and enjoyed some modest international glory in the early 1970s as part of Greenfield & Cook. Following the split of the duo in 1974, Kok embarked on a solo career that yielded no further chart hits. He continued to use Cook as his second name, a literal translation of his real family name, Kok. He participated in the 1977 Dutch Song Contest with the song 'Pinokkio' and later moved to Chile, where he became a succesful record label executive and music entrepreneur.

Sheer comedic genius. Can't get better than this. Peter Cook is outstanding as always.

I was impressed by both comedic sparrers the first I watched this video. And I've watched it several times because it's Peter Cook at his best, and up against Chris Moore at around his best, the early nineties - when apparently sheer desperation or god knows made him a sort of monster of ballsy comedic ambition. But having sought out more of Chris Moore's early stuff - in particular his delightful Jam radio series, also available on YouTube, thankfully - I've found he doesn't impart persuasively that he enjoys what he's doing. There's a vigilante-ism to this sort of comedy. Doing it for a cause rather than a laugh, rather than for a cause and a laugh. There are softer, equally as funny, coevals to Chris Moore's masochist-comic movement, or you might see them as his foster-children - Steve Coogan and Stewart Lee come to mind as deserving special praise. But I like the movement less than the one Peter Cook helped found, which struggled to put down less itself, and so too its audience, than to see in its audience, and so too in itself, something more delightful, something truly hateful. Peter Cook's candid sadism tastes fresher to me than Chris Moore's audacious sadomasochism. It's funnier to watch someone being brilliant and having a good time at least doing so than someone being brilliant punching holes in his ears or an unloaded gun in his mouth. Still, the iterations of "Die. Die, Peter Cook," throughout I find deeply cathartic, almost as much as Derrick and Clive at their most unspun. It's the stale taste of despair in his comedy makes the joke suffer. Comedy at its best, like eros, is transcendent, beyond despair. If Chris Moore laughed honestly, I think his joke would stick.

peter morningsnow 😯It's Chris Morris mate. lol

That it is. Quite a comedic talent, but better at the punchline than the listening, the mark of a higher talent.

A true intellectual. Bravo. Take a bow. You worked hard
peter morningsnow
Do you mean I am the true intellectual? Is that an insult? Should I feel ashamed by your response to my comment to the comment I wrote to the video which I still believe, in all my self importance, to be a very good comment. But I didn't work very hard in writing what I wrote. Though I did pay attention to my punctuation.

@Gus D As you say, lol. It's also Derek. But at least the punctuation is impeccable. Really odd.
